Hint: Second Player

Hint by kotik2006 on November 16, 2007  |  report this hint

Hint: Add Second Player to aid your mission

If you have a second Wii controller, you can have a friend play along with you. While there won't be a second player on-screen, you will have a second cursor to use. This means that Coins, Star Bits, and the like can be collected by the second player. There's also some functionality in controlling Mario's jumps.

Beating Bosses

Bosses are VERY repetetive in this game. Each boss has only one weakness and will almost always kill you in any other trait. During a boss battle, observe what the boss is like and what attacks he uses. Then, use those attacks against the boss to exploit weaknesses. Like the Dino-Piranha's tail and the Bouldergeist's body.

If you want Finale Galaxy, you must get 120 stars with Mario and Luigi. After you get 120 stars with both than you go to the Green Warp Star. Once you see the orange pipe go around the planet and you'll see a 4th green star. This will take you too the Grand Finale Galaxy where you have to collect purple coins for the last time.

You know thew butt stomp right. Well there is a way to make that butt stomp track and follow your enemies like a freaking missle. This is what you do. Jump in the air, do a spin attack, and then do a butt stomp. Watch mario flatten enemies with heat seeking control!

Two Players Are Better Than One

Hint by Street Roller on February 19, 2008  |  report this hint

Two players makes this game much easier, that way you don't have to worry about collecting the Star Bits, they do. Also, they can hold enemies for you.

Hidden Character *SPOILERS*
Get all 120 stars. Return to Rosalina on the Comet Observatory and request to fight Bowser again. Finish the credits and you will get a message saying that Luigi is now playable.

Grand Finale Galaxy and Star 121 for Mario and Luigi *SPOILERS*

To unlock the final star and galaxy, collect all 120 stars with Luigi and beat Bowser. Doing so unlocks the Grand Finale Galaxy, accessible from the green trial planet, which is the Star Festival seen in the beginning of the game. Collecting the 100 purple coins in this galaxy gets you the final star.

All coconuts become watermelons.
Collect 9999 star bits in the hub, and all the coconuts in the game become watermelons.

Death Count
The Grand Finale Galaxy, which is the secret galaxy that can be unlocked after 120 Stars are gathered with both Mario and Luigi, holds another secret.
Once this final Star from the stage is acquired with both Mario and Luigi, you will be able to see your death count on your save file. You can now see how many times you died while playing the game with both Mario and Luigi.
